Benue LP Gov Candidate, Others Defect To APC. by Johnnyessence(m): 7:57pm On Feb 18, 2015
The deputy governorship candidate of the Labor
Party in Benue State, David Ngbede, was among
2,000 members of other parties, including the
Peoples Democratic Party, who dumped their
parties for the All Progressives Congress on
Tuesday at separate rallies in Agatu, Apa, and
Ohimini local government areas.
Speaking in Ugbokpo, Ngbede and former
Chairman of Apa and Agatu council areas, Mr
Ameh Udo, who said he had been on sabbatical
from politics in the last four years, stated that
they took the decision to pitch tents with the
APC in order to be part of the change sweeping
across the country.
They also expressed confidence in the flag
bearers of the party for the governorship election
in the state, saying they had the capacity and
experience to propel the state forward.
The APC governorship candidate in the state,
Chief Samuel Ortom, informed the new members
that the APC amended its constitution last
October so as to put old and new members on
the same page, explaining that it was on that
account that he joined the party and became its
candidate within two days.
He assured the defectors that they had the same
rights and privileges as old members.
In Obagaji, headquarters of Agatu, Ortom stated
that if given the mandate, the incoming APC
administration at the state and federal levels
would secure lives and property as well as
provide critical infrastructure for the people.
He stated that the council area and Guma, his
home local government, shared two striking
similarities as areas that had suffered the
greatest neglect from the PDP government,
resulting in massive casualties from herdsmen’s
attacks and lack of tarred roads to the council’s
headquarters.
The former Minister of State, Industry, Trade and
Investment, said he and his running mate,
Benson Abounu, were acquainted with the
suffering of the people and had acquired the
requisite experience in both the private and
public sectors that would enable them to hit the www.punchng.com/news/benue-lp-gov-candidate-others-defect-to-apc/
ground running as soon as they were sworn-in.
